2016 FIAT DOBLO PANORAMA gearbox

Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat Doblò.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance from the
technical features of your Fiat Doblò.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all with those
concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and

After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on board the
vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and
the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the event
of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain
directional control.
The ESC system is therefore
particularly useful when grip
conditions of road surfaces change.
The MSR system (adjustment of
the engine braking torque during gear
changes) and the HBA system
(automatic increase in the braking
pressure during emergency braking)
are present with ESC, ASR and
Hill Holder systems (for
versions/markets where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of the
warning light in the instrument panel,
to inform the driver that the vehicle is
in critical stability and grip conditions.SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system is automatically
activated when the vehicle is started.
FAULT INDICATIONS
In the event of a fault, the ESC will be
automatically switched off and the
warning light will come on
permanently on the instrument panel
along with a message on the
multifunction display (for versions/
markets where provided) (see "Warning
lights and messages" section). The
LED on the ASR OFF button will also
light up. Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
58)
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting on
slopes. It is automatically activated
in the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%,
engine running, brake pressed and
gearbox in neutral or gear (other than
reverse) engaged;
❒downhill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%,
engine running, brake pressed and
reverse gear engaged.When setting off, the ESC system
control unit maintains the braking
pressure at the wheels until the torque
necessary for starting is reached, or
in any case for a maximum of 1.75
seconds, allowing your right foot to be
moved easily from the brake pedal to
the accelerator.
If the vehicle has not departed after
1.75 seconds, the system will
deactivate automatically by gradually
releasing the brake force.
During this release stage, the typical
brake disengagement noise indicating
that the vehicle is going to move
imminently will be heard.
Fault indications
Any system fault is indicated by the
turning on of the
warning light on
the instrument panel with digital display
and the
warning light on the
instrument panel with multifunction
display (for versions/markets where
provided) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake, therefore do not
leave the vehicle without activating the
handbrake, switching off the engine
and engaging first gear.

SAFETY

STARTING AND DRIVING
Let’s get to the "heart" of the vehicle:
seeing how you can exploit all of its
potential to the full.
We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any
situation, so that it can be a welcome
companion, with our comfort and
our wallets in mind.STARTING THE ENGINE .................130

USING THE
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the gear
lever A-fig. 127 into the required
position (the diagram is shown on the
gear knob fig. 143).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the vehicle is at a
standstill. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
ring B under the knob and at the same
time move the gear lever to the right
and then backwards (as shown in the
diagram).

WARNING
80) Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. Therefore,
the floor area underneath the
pedal unit must not be obstructed
in any way. Ensure that the floor
mat is always laid flat and does
not interfere with use of the
pedals.
IMPORTANT
21) Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as the
force exerted, even if slight, could
lead over time to premature wear
of the internal gearbox
components. The clutch pedal
should be used only for gear
changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal,
however lightly. For versions/
markets where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut
in by interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.

START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move
off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Engine stopping mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
WITH ROBOTIZED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops
with the brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained even
if the brake pedal is not depressed, if
the gear lever is in position N.NOTE: The engine can only be stopped
automatically after a speed of about
10 km/h is reached, to prevent the
engine from being repeatedly stopped
when driving at walking pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled
by the fig. 144 icon on the display,
depending on the trim level.
Engine restarting mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.WITH ROBOTIZED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N, place it
in any other gear, otherwise release
the brake pedal or move the gear lever
to (+), (–) or R.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/
deactivated via button A fig. 145
located to the side of the handbrake.
The deactivation is signalled when
the LED on the button switches on. In
addition, on the versions where
provided, additional information
concerning the deactivation or
activation of the Start&Stop is given
through a message in the display.

STARTING AND DRIVING

EMERGENCY STARTING
In the case of emergency starting,
never connect the negative lead (–) of
the auxiliary battery to the negative pole
C of the vehicle battery, but rather to
either the dummy pole B or to an
engine/gearbox earth point fig. 149.
82) 83) 84) 85)
WARNING
81) If the battery needs to be
replaced, always contact a Fiat
Dealership. Replace the battery
with a new one of the same type
and specifications.82) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the vehicle is
switched off and the key is in the
OFF position. Please follow the
instructions on the decal near the
front crossmember. It is advisable
to extract the key when there
are other people in the vehicle.
83) The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been
removed or turned to the OFF
position. When refuelling, make
sure that the vehicle is switched
off with the key in the OFF
position.
84) For vehicles with robotised
gearbox, in the event of automatic
engine stopping with the vehicle
on a slope, the engine should
be restarted by moving the gear
lever towards (+) or (–) without
releasing the brake pedal. For
vehicles with robotised gearbox
and Hill Holder function, in the
event of automatic engine
stopping with the vehicle on a
slope, the engine must be
restarted by moving the gear lever
towards (+) or (–) without
releasing the brake pedal, so that
the Hill Holder function, active
only with the engine running,
becomes available.85) If climate comfort is to be
favoured, the Start&Stop system
can be disabled, for a continuous
operation of the climate control
system.

IMPORTANT
2) Do not dispose of the can or the
sealing fluid as household waste.
Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and
local regulations.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light
stays on constantly on
the instrument panel.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery
with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle
fig. 208:
❒connect the positive terminals (+
mark near the terminal) of the two
batteries using a suitable lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point
on the
engine or the gearbox of the vehicle
to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the
order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of
the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, avoid any
metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally
coming into contact.29)
121)
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
